Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Extra Fine= $26

Family Style= $12.98

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the activities rate for each department and support:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Department 1:

Mixing= 4,500/1,500= $3 per machine hour

Cooking= 11,250/1,500= $7.5 per machine hour

Product testing= 112,500/600= $187.5 per batch

Department 2:

Machine calibration= 250,000/400= $625 per production run

Labeling= 12,000/120,000= $0.1 per cases of output

Defects= 6,000/120,000= $0.05 per cases of output

Support:

Recipe formulation= 90,000/45= $2,000 per focus group

Heat, lights, and water= 27,000/1,500= $18 per machine hour

Materials handling= 65,000/8= $8,125 per container types

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product:

Extra Fine:

Department 1:

Mixing= 3*500= $1,500

Cooking= 7.5*500= $3,750

Product testing= 187.5*200= $37,500

Department 2:

Machine calibration= 625*200= 125,000

Labeling= 0.1*20,000= 2,000

Defects= 0.05*20,000= 1,000

Support:

Recipe formulation= 2,000*30= 60,000

Heat, lights, and water= 18*500= 9,000

Materials handling= 8,125*5= 40,625

Total allocated overhead= $280,375

Unitary cost= 280,375/20,000= $14

Family Style:

Department 1:

Mixing= 3*1,000= $3,000

Cooking= 7.5*1,000= $7,500

Product testing= 187.5*400= $75,000

Department 2:

Machine calibration= 625*200= 125,000

Labeling= 0.1*100,000= 10,000

Defects= 0.05*20,000= 5,000

Support:

Recipe formulation= 2,000*15= 30,000

Heat, lights, and water= 18*1,000= 18,000

Materials handling= 8,125*3= 24,375

Total allocated overhead= $297,875

Unitary cost= 297,875/100,000= $2.98

Finally, the total unitary cost:

Extra Fine= 6 + 6 + 14= $26

Family Style= 5 + 5 + 2.98= $12.98

Answers

Answer:

Rental income = $1,757 billion

Explanation:

National income is defined as the value of goods and services that a nation produces within a financial year.

Therefore it is made up of all economic actives that the nation is involved in.

The gross domestic product is a measure of the national income.

The formula for national income is given below

National income = employees compensation + proprietors' income + corporate profits + rental income +net interest

5,000 billion = 1,105 billion + 1,520 billion + 490 billion + rental income + 128 billion

Rental income = 5,000 billion - 3,243 billion

Rental income = $1,757 billion

Sara purchased a life insurance policy as an investment from her neighbor, Angela. Angela, the original policy holder had paid premiums of $12,000 before the sale. Sara paid Angela $16,500 to acquire the life insurance policy. Sara made additional payments of $5,000. When Angela died, Sara collected $50,000. How much of the policy proceeds is taxable to Sara

Answers

Answer:

$16,500

Total money spent to acquire the policy = ($16,500 + $5000) = $21,500

Total money invested on policy = $21500 + $12000

Total money invested on policy = $33500

Money that sara got after angela died = $50,000

Therefore, the taxable proceed will be = $50,000 - $33,500 = $16,500

Models of financial markets that emphasize psychological factors affecting investor behavior are called _______.

Answers

Answer:

behavioral finance

Explanation:

Behavioral finance focuses on how psychological factors influence markets, and how important they are. E.g. expectations can sometimes be more important than actual results. Stock prices are not necessarily determined using scientific methods, that is why each analyst has his/her own expected future price. No one can know for sure which price is correct, since each analyst will factor certain variables depending on his/her expectations about the future of the company, the stock market, the country's economy and even the world's economy.

Most people would agree that Warren Buffet is generally right when pricing stocks or adjusting stock prices, but even he is not 100% right all the time. Even personal issues affect how investors value stocks. E.g. if the market has been rising and the economy is strong, most investors will be confident and might decide to take higher risks. On the other hand, if the market is not doing so well, investors might be afraid, and they will seek risk free investments. That is the reason why US securities sometimes yield negative returns. It is simply illogical to invest money knowing that you will lose, just leave the money in the bank. But sometimes desperation leads to mistakes.

Explain how allocating the profits evenly between the partners would work. Consider the fairness to each of the partners in your response.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Allocation of profit to partners is all dependent on partnership agreement also called partnership deed where sharing ratio as well as role and participation of partners are stated clearly. The sharing ratio states how profits or losses in the partnership is shared amongst partners. If there is ratio to share profit equally or higher and lower for certain partners, it is made and stated clear in partnership deed before business commences, this ensures there is fairness in partners' dealings and everyone gets his share according to agreement

If overhead is applied using traditional costing based on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Explanation:

If overhead is applied using traditional costing based on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

For example:

Total estimated overhead= $150,000

Allocation base= direct labor hours

Estimated Total number of direct labor hours= 10,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 150,000/10,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $15 per direct labor hour

There are two machines for sale that you are considering purchasing for your sawmill to produce hardwood flooring. You want to find the one that has a higher process capability index, or Cpk. The goal is to produce flooring that is between 46 and 50 millimeters thick. The first machine is more accurate on average, producing to a mean of 48 millimeters...but unfortunately it has more variation with a standard deviation of 7 millimeters. The second machine is not as accurate, with a mean of 47mm, but does deliver a more consistent output, with standard deviation of 3mm.
[ Select] What is the Cpk of machine 1?
[Select] What is the Cpk of machine 2?
[ Select] If your goal is to be capable', what would you do?
[ Select] If (somehow) you could combine the best of both machines (the centering or average of machine 1 coupled with the constancy or standard deviation of machine 2, what would the Cpk be?

Answers

Answer:

Machine 1 = 0.092

Machine 2 = 0.111

Combined = 0.222

Explanation:

Given the following :

Lower specification limit (LSL) = 46 mm

Upper specification limit (USL) = 50 mm

MACHINE 1:

Mean 1 (m1) = 48

Standard deviation 1 (σ1) = 0.7

MACHINE 2:

Mean 2 (m2) = 47

Standard deviation 2 (σ2) = 0.3

Cpk formula:

Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)

USLcpk = (USL - m) / 3σ

LSLcpk = (m - LSL) / 3σ

FOR MACHINE 1:

USLcpk = (50 - 48) / 3(7) = 0.0952

LSLcpk = (48 - 46) / 3(7) = 0.0952

Cpk = Min(0.952, 0.952) = 0.952

FOR MACHINE 2:

USLcpk = (50 - 47) / 3(3) = 0.333

LSLcpk = (47 - 46) / 3(3) = 0.111

Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)

Cpk = Min(0.333, 0.111) = 0.111

When combined :

Mean = 48

σ = 3

USLcpk = (50 - 48) / 3(3) = 0.222

LSLcpk = (48 - 46) / 3(3) = 0.222

Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)

Cpk = Min(0.222, 0.222) = 0.222

December 31, 2024 = $0

b. The balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account are as follows.

December 31, 2021 = $15 million

December 31, 2022 = $10 million

December 31, 2023 = $5 million

December 31, 2024 = $0

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of cumulative temporary book-tax difference for the depreciable asset and the balance to be reported in the deferred tax liability account for December 31 of years 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 in bold red color.

In the attached excel file, the following formula are used:

Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the current year = Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the previous year + (Depreciation on the tax return at December 31 of the current year - Depreciation on the income statement at December 31 of the current year)

Balance to be reported in deferred tax liability account at December 31 of the current year = Cumulative Temporary differences at December 31 of the current year * Tax rate

Firms often seek to borrow money to expand their capital stock, and the price they pay for the money is the interest rate. What happens to quantity of money demanded if the interest rate increases

Answers

Answer:

When interest rate rises, the quantity of money demanded reduces

Explanation:

As interest rate increases firms seeking to borrow money for capital stock expansion are likely not going to go ahead with it. The reason is simply because, interest rate and money demanded have an inverse relationship. As interest rate rises money demanded falls because it means that for any amount of money borrowed the interest rate attached to it is higher making the cost of borrowing heavier on the borrower.

If the AD shortfall is $700 billion and the MPC is 0.95, Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place. a. How large is the desired fiscal stimulus

Answers

Answer:

a. The desired fiscal stimulus is $35.0 billion.

b. The income tax cut is $36.8 billion.

c. The amount of government spending that would achieve the target is $35.0 billion.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

If the AD shortfall is $700 billion and the MPC is 0.95, Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place.

a. How large is the desired fiscal stimulus?

b. How large an income tax cut is needed?

c. Alternatively, how much government spending would achieve the target?

The explantion of the answers is now provided as follows:

From the question, we have:

Aggregate demand (AD) shortfall = $700 billion

Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) = 0.95

a. How large is the desired fiscal stimulus?

To calculate the the desired fiscal stimulus, we need to first calculate the multiplier as follows:

Multipliers = 1 (1 - MPC) ................... (1)

Substituting the value into equation (1), we have:

Multipliers = 1 (1 - 0.95) = 1 / 0.05 = 20

The formula for calculating the fiscal stimulus is as follows:

Fiscal stimulus = AD shortfall / Multiplier ..................... (2)

Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:

Fiscal stimulus = $700 billion / 20 = $35.0 billion.

Therefore, the desired fiscal stimulus is $35.0 billion.

b. How large an income tax cut is needed?

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Income tax cut = Fiscal stimulus / MPC .............. (3)

Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:

Income tax cut = $35 billion / 0.95 = $36.8421052631579 billion

Rounding to one decimal place, we have

Income tax cut = $36.8 billion

Therefore, the income tax cut is $36.8 billion.

c. Alternatively, how much government spending would achieve the target?

The amount of increase in government spending that would achieve the target is the same thing as the desired fiscal stimulus already obtained in part a above.

Therefore, the amount of government spending that would achieve the target is $35.0 billion.

Assume Merck (MRK) just announced that its next dividend will be $2, paid one year from now (you just missed the prior annual dividend). You expect the dividend will grow (after the $2 dividend) by 3% per year forever. Your required return is 10%. What are you willing to pay for a share of Merck stock

Answers

Answer:

$28.57

Explanation:

Current price = D1/(Required return-Growth rate)

D1 (Next dividend) = $2

Required return = 10% = 0.1

Growth rate = 3% = 0.03

Current price = $2/(0.1-0.03)

Current price = $2 / 0.07

Current price = $28.57143

Current price = $28.57

Hence, i will be willing to pay $28.57 for a share of Merck stock.

Sheridan Company pays all salaried employees on a biweekly basis. Overtime pay, however, is paid in the next biweekly period. Sheridan accrues salaries expense only at its December 31 year end. Data relating to salaries earned in December 2020 are as follows: Last payroll was paid on 12/26/20, for the 2-week period ended 12/26/20. Overtime pay earned in the 2-week period ended 12/26/20 was $24000. Remaining work days in 2020 were December 29, 30, 31, on which days there was no overtime. The recurring biweekly salaries total $444000.
Assuming a five-day workweek, Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries of:_________.
a. $266400
b. $290400
c. $133200
d. $157200

Answers

Answer:

d. $157,200

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount that Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries

Liability for accrued salary=$24,000 + ($444,000 ÷ 10 days × 3)

Liability for accrued salary=$24,000+$133,200

Liability for accrued salary= $157,200

Therefore the amount that Sheridan should record a liability at December 31, 2020 for accrued salaries will be $157,200

Answers

Answer:

date               revenue      costs

May 2016         $400      

Dec. 2016        $400         $384 / $960 = 40%

May 2017         $400         $576 / $960 = 60%

Revenue recognized during 2016 = $1,200 x 40% = $480 million

Expenses recognized during 2016 = $384 million

Income recognized during 2016 = $480 - $384 = $96 million

Revenue recognized during 2017 = $1,200 x 60% = $720 million

Expenses recognized during 2017 = $576 million

Income recognized during 2017 = $720 - $576 = $144 million

Combined years:

Revenue recognized = $1,200 million

Expenses recognized = $960 million

Income recognized = $240 million

UNIT ELASTIC ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is unit elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally equal change in the quantity demanded.

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(15 - 20) / [(15 + 20)/2]} / {($4 - $3) / [($4 + $3)/2]} = -0.2857 / 0.2857 = -1 or |1| in absolute terms

Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5.

INELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is inelastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally lower change in the quantity demanded.

CapCityMetro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21. Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day.

ELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the demand for a good is elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally higher change in quantity demanded.

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(61,000 - 70,000) / [(61,000 + 70,000)/2]} / {($2.21 - $2) / [($2.21 + $2)/2]} = -0.1374 / 0.1 = -1.374 or |1.374| in absolute terms

Consider the following data on U.S. GDP:

Year Nominal GDP (Billions of dollars) GDP Deflator (Base year 2009)
2015 17,947 109.8
1995 7,664 75.3
The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1995 and 2015 was _____, and the growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1995 and 2015 was _____.

Measured in 2009 prices, real GDP was _____ billion in 1995 and _____ billion in 2015.

The growth rate of real GDP between 1995 and 2015 was _____.

The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1995 and 2015 was _____ than the growth rate of real GDP.

Answers

Answer:

The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1995 and 2015 was 4.35%

Growth rate over a period is calculated as;

= 100 * (((Current variable/initial variable)^1/n) - 1)

= 100 * (((17,947 / 7,664) ^1/20) -1)

= 4.35%

Growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1995 and 2015 was 1.90%.

=  100 * (((109.8/75.3)^1/20) -1)

= 1.90%

Measured in 2009 prices, real GDP was $ 10,177.95 billion in 1995 and $ 16,345.17 billion in 2015.

Real GDP = (Nominal GDP / GDP Deflator) * 100

1995 = (7,664/75.3) * 100

= $ 10,177.95

2015 = (17,947/109.8) * 100

= $ 16,345.17

The growth rate of real GDP between 1995 and 2015 was 2.397% .

= 100 x (((16,345.17 / 10,177.95)^1/20) -1)

= 2.397%

The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1995 and 2015 was more than the growth rate of real GDP.

Nominal GDP growth was 4.35% whilst Real GDP was 2.397%.
